My top 5 for Android

  1. Go Launcher EX - I had never even heard of this app until it came preloaded on Calkulin's rom for the E4GT. It replaces touchwiz and allows for a LOT of customization like themes, how big or small the shortcuts and widgets are on your home screen, app drawer customization, lock screen customization and a lot more. And it's free!
  2. Soundhound/Shazam - Both apps can identify songs using the phone's microphone and allow you to add it to your "tag stream" or listen to it on pandora etc. Both have free and paid versions.
  3. Google music - I recently found out that google music allows you to upload 20,000 songs into their "cloud" and then stream all your music on your computer, phone, tablet or pretty much anything that can connect to the internet.
  4. Camera ZOOM FX - Camera app that allows you to use all kinds of effects on your pictures. The only thing I wish it had was the ability to use the volume rocker to take the picture. Currently on sale for $2.99.
  5. AirPush Detector - Ever get those (expletive deleted) ads that pop up in your notification bar? Did you just install 25 apps and not have a clue which one is the offender? AirPush detector sniffs them out and brings you to the uninstall page.

  1. Moxier mail - Email client for Outlook. I need to get my work emails when I'm out of the office.
  2. Dropbox - So I can check and edit docs while I'm out of the office or on a different computer.
  3. Bloomberg - Gotta keep up with the financial world and the market to see if I can afford to every retire decades from now.
  4. Pulse - Don't have a tablet yet, so its loaded with news/mag articles to catch up with when I'm stuck shopping with the wife.
  5. Soundhound - god for ID a song you hear and want to know the title.

For me:

  • Browser...that's how I keep up with S4GRU.
  • Facebook...that's how I keep up with S4GRU
  • Twitter...that's how I keep up with S4GRU
  • Tapatalk...that's how I keep up with every other forum that's not S4GRU

Other than S4GRU related stuff...

  • SpeedTest...because I always have to know how the network is performing right this very second.
  • Root Metrics & Sensorly...I've always gotta provide feedback how the network is performing every second
  • CDMA Field Test...I'm a wireless dork, I'm sorry. I want to know what tower I'm connected to in order to better understand the results from the upper two.
  • Tech Site Apps...BGR, CNET and Engadget

Honorable Mentions:

  • Gas Buddy...I'm obsessed with buying gasoline at the cheapest price
  • Urbanspoon...I'm a foodie and a Prime contributor
  • You Version Bible...because I'm one of those Jesus freaks
  • Hanging with Friends and Words with Friends...user name NMherron if you want to send me a game
  • PowerAmp...this app is awesome. Not only is it a music player, but has a pre-amp. Makes my car stereo boom. It also has different equalizer settings that can be saved as individual profiles. I have one for each car I drive, because each stereo sounds different. Love it!

I use speed test, but I will have to check out some of those other apps to get a handle on what my connection is really doing.

I'm actively using both Tapatalk and Forum Runner now. To keep track of any issues or bugs. I have a S4GRU app on my to do list. But I don't think I am going to get to it until at least April.

      Kind of amazing that T-Mobile is still holding onto that speed title despite Verizon all but killing off lowband 5G on their network. While Verizon is mostly being evaluated on mmWave and C-band performance, T-Mobile and AT&T's average 5G speeds include their massive lowband 5G networks that are significantly slower.

      Yup. Very true. We were originally on an Everything Data 1500 Plan, which got Unlimited Minutes thanks to Marcelo's "Loyalty Benefits" offer. We then switched to Unlimited Freedom (with the Free HD add-on that Sprint originally wanted $20/month per line for.... remember that?) because the pricing was better with "iPhone for Life", vs. the "Loyalty Credit" for staying on a Legacy Plan. After that, I ran the numbers and switched us over to Sprint MAX, especially for the international travel benefits. There's absolutely no reason for us to switch to Go5G Plus or Go5G Next if we're going to do BYOD by purchasing from Apple/Samsung/Google directly as we've been doing. These new plans aren't priced for current customers to switch to. They're priced for new customers, where they throw in a free line, etc. It's gone from "Uncarrier" to "Carrier". What a shame.

      Strange business model that they keep around all these pricing plans. 1000s of plans per carrier is reportedly not uncommon.  Training customer support must be a nightmare. Even MVNOs have legacy plans. A downside of their contract mentality I guess. Best to change contracts during a recession. But then all carriers try to squeeze out legacy plan benefits as they grow old.

      Everything "Uncarrier" is becoming "Carrier" again. Because of the Credit Limit that T-Mobile put on our account for no reason at all (and wouldn't change/update the last time I checked all the way up to the CEO), I don't plan on buying/upgrading our iPhones through T-Mobile. I'm going through Apple directly. Looks like I'll be going through Google and Samsung directly for our other lines for upgrades. Also, we're staying on Sprint Max given the ridiculous pricing for Go5G Plus. On Sprint Max, we currently pay for our Plan: $260 for 7 Voice Lines $25 for two Wearable Lines. (One is $10/Month. The other is $15/Month because the AutoPay discount only applies up to 8 lines.) Total: $285/Month vs. Go5G Plus (Per the Broadband Facts "nutrition label" on the T-Mobile Website): https://www.t-mobile.com/commerce/cell-phone-plans $360 - ($5 AutoPay Discount x 7 Voice Lines) = $325 The Watch Plans show as either $12/Month or $15/Month: https://www.t-mobile.com/cell-phone-plans/affordable-data-plans/smartwatches So this is about the same for the wearables as what we're paying now. Overall, it's quite more than we're paying now to switch plans. Ridiculous....
